When talking to customers, one finds out there's some pretty interesting things going on! Sold a wrench to guy we got to talking and he said he had a Dan with Barney he was going to re-blue. I told him I thought that was not possible from what I heard! He said over the 30 years or so he has been doing re-bluing he has came up with a solution that turns "purple" guns to black. Said the Ruger M77's have the same problem of turning purple over time, did one about 10 years back and its still black as the day he reblued it! Here's pictures of the Dan they did, this one had rust issues, deep pitting. Ended up with a matte finish since the customer wanted a polished finish, high polish really brought out the pits, so it was toned down to a matte finish-

Eric,
Did he say how long ago he re-blued the Barney gun?

Hey Ed, The one in the pictures was done in the last week or so. I expressed my concern about it going back to purple as I heard that they don't stay black. That's when he said about the M77 and others that have stayed black. Definitely someone to talk to if ya' got a Dan with Barney.

That black gun looks real nice, but I still like the Blarney.

That's pretty cool. So is he going to share his secret recipe with you?

Very true Mox, some do find the Barney attractive! 
Jody, For that one, I kind of don't think so!

That's good news for folks who don't care for Barney in their guns. I don't mind a mild case, but when they're darn near pink, that's where I draw the line.

Stainless Steel guns don't do that.
It works for me.

IHMSA's gun is "Panther Pink"...which of course, is always cool!
As long as you're quite firm about your manhood that is, or happen to remember the early 70's Mopar colors.

1971 Mopar Panther Pink is correct. Make no mistake, it isn't a wimpy round. It is chambered in .350 Remington Magnum...any girlie-men care to shoot it?
